はじめに
Espresso machines need to be descaled regularly to remove mineral buildup. After I had owned the Gaggia for 2 years, with regular (every 6 weeks) descaling, the machine was struggling to pump enough water to make a decent cup of espresso. Sydney does not have a much mineralization in the water, but there were was significant buildup. Here I document how I fixed the problem by pulling the machine apart, cleaning it and replacing the rubber gaskets.

The next steps are to disconnect the electrical connections (the wiring harness).

Start with the connections at the rear of the machine. The earth wire (yellow/green) is on the left.

Use a marker to label the two power wires - it will make it easier to reassemble later. Be sure to pull on the plastic clip rather than the cable.

Name should be changed to "how to take apart Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine" - there is no information on maintenance or descaling.
Looks like step 8 mentions a part that should be descaled. The intro also calls out general cleaning and gasket replacement. In general, descaling just means soaking most of the parts that look funky or can be clogged, especially filters, pipes, and hoses. =)
Correct. A full video showing how to descale everything, including the boiler, is here:
